Actually MFC uses windows api, but this does not change anything, it is still 1997 API. And we are in year 2023 with worse UI, i would expect it to be in reverse. "generally the simple stuff", no: https://docs.microsoft

Less complex UI, interesting: https://bcgsoft.com/galleries.htm (psst, a secret, BCG is just a library on top of MFC) Please DO open Word 97 (and this is 26 years old UI) and compare it with the best done web UI you are awa

/me remembers MFC/QT/BCGsoft and C++ codebase and gently smiles on thought that maybe the issue are everywhere else except the UI complexity. We are where we are, but it is interesting that GUI libraries from 20 years back ar

It is on completely different level, sandboxie doesnt use virtualization and is achieving its goal using API hooking. This means practically zero overhead.

That's why you create a lengthy random key (that you know it cant be brute forced) and encrypt everything using it and symmetric encryption. Than you store that random key encrypted with asymmetric algorithm. Same goes for things like

It works, which gives everything else that doesnt work a joke prefix. I am not here to support Stallman style political warfare "who is more open source and less working". I am just stating the obvious. Sailfish works. Everything

Your 70 year old parents don't care about security of communication. Whatever http(without 's') chat is quite enough for them. They were talking on analog, unencrypted line for whole their life. Why should they care now? PRIS
